Kalin

History

In 1800, the plot belonged to Greta Mandelin, a bourgeois widow who also owned a field. Her debts were considerably higher than the value of the house and field, so she was exempt from property tax.

Modification drafts

A modification drawing of the Kalinin building by Arvi Forsman dates from 1899. The main building was long and narrow, with a shop at the Kalatori end. The building’s panelling was in the neo-renaissance style. In 1953, the building housed an electrical shop. The long building was still standing in the 1960s, but in 1970 a low-rise new building was planned for the site. However, the plan by Risto Niitinen was never realised. In 1974, a second plan for a new building was presented by Seppo Salvo from Tampere. His design for a two-storey, terraced house-like solution was realised. The building consisted of five apartments, one measuring 139 m2 and the others 77,5 m2.
